if you're going to black the grill out.. I'll buy you a P5 one if you send me yours....
What have you done to your MSP today?

I was actually going to buy another grill so if I do paint the trim I could always go back to stock. I'll let you know if I change my mind though.
that's an easy fix, 3 bolts, 2 clips for wireing, but you have to take of the door panel to get to one of the clips. The passanger side mirror ran me about $160 at the dealer ship
thats a lot of money for a mirror. wasit painted or primer?

should have got a ATP. The forge do not hold boost as well. And are 3 times as much.
I vote for Emblem only. Looks the cleanest that way IMO. I think all the way blacked out looks a bit empty.

I finally got my car done. It is painted now. I used two coats of a regular black left over from a cavalier and then done two coats of the Sherwin Williams MSP black mica paint and gave her three coats of clear. It looks good. I have some crappy cell phone pics that ill show you guys. I still have to put the side skirts on and the trim pieces that run down the roof and then she is done. Im waiting on the clips for the side skirts. here are the crappy pics that I promised 
.
In the paint shop.
Got it home and setting in the garage for the paint to cure.
Lol I put all the parts in the living room to let them cure cause its cold out side.
Here is the car today sitting at the station, waiting on the trim and side skirts.
I'm going to apologize once again for the cell phone pics. Its just so handy to grad the cell instead of getting the camera out and finding the batteries and all that junk.

Yeah, you guys dont understand how bad my car was in the past. the paint made me hate my car. the clear was coming all off the drivers side and there was a hole in the paint where the owner before me used window urethane to glue the widebody part of the WW kit on the rear passenger panel and my little bro cut through the paint into the primer trying to get the window urethane off. At least he was trying to help lol I couldnt get mad at him. but the paint job isnt perfect but its damn good. If i were to wet sand and buff it the paint job would be awesome but I want to keep the clear as thick as I can so i think im just going to wet sand and buff the hood cause you can see some dirt in it. The other panels are not bad at all.
